Maartje Scheltens

Testimonials

I am not sure I could have finished my book project without Maartje's help. She copyedited a 150,000-word edited volume with 20 contributors, converting references from one style format into another, and checking the whole manuscript for consistency. What is more, she did each chapter as it came in, so there was almost no delay. When we submitted the manuscript to the publisher it was squeaky clean. They were pleased, and more importantly this has meant no delays in getting it to press. Maartje was a rock throughout what was a very stressful process. She has an outstanding eye for textual detail, impeccable editing skills, and superb levels of stamina. I can highly recommend her for any editing job and have used her services again for my own monograph.

I would strongly recommend Maartje Scheltens, both as a copy-editor and a proof-reader. In the process of working together on my latest book, she has always responded promptly and efficiently to queries. She has gone through the text with tremendous care, bearing in mind my principal concerns and suggesting improvements as necessary. She has also been willing to discuss wider questions of structure and content as required. All in all, Maartje has saved me hours of time and given me much more confidence about my work. I am extremely grateful to her.
